A video of a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Sunjwan area emerged on social media on Saturday, a day after security forces shot dead two Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorists from Pakistan.
The footage, shared by news agency ANI, displayed a bus carrying CISF personnel stopping in the middle of the road. Soon after its stop, the bus is attacked from a nearby house. Gunshots can also be heard in the video.
As maintained by the police, Friday's incident, coming just days before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the valley, was a suicide attack. J-K's director general of police Dilbag Singh has said that the terrorists - who were shot dead - could be a part of a "big conspiracy" to sabotage PM Modis visit, according to news agency ANI.
During the search operation following the encounter, police also found two AK-47 rifles, arms and ammunition, satellite phones and some documents.
Additional director general of police, Jammu Zone Mukesh Singh also said the terrorists were planning to cause heavy distruction. "With the kind of vest (IED vest) they were wearing it is clear that they had come here to inflict heavy damage and their designs were quite nefarious but with the timely intervention of intelligence agencies and the security forces, this major disaster has been averted," news agency ANI quoted Singh as saying.
